K-12 grade level INDICATORS or SKILLS serve as the “building blocks” for what students “should know and be able to do” as they progress from grade to grade during their educational career.

IDENTIFYING RIGOR IN THE STANDARDS

The KEY to identifying “rigor” is found in Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Using the KEY words in the Taxonomy serves as a guide to identifying “rigor” in the skills found in the standards.

EvaluationSynthesisAnalysisApplicationComprehensionKnowledge

Create Lessons from Bloom’s Taxonomy Key words in Ohio’s Academic Content Standards

Use KEY words from Bloom’s Taxonomy to determine RIGOR.

Match “Indicator’s KEY word” with “Bloom’s KEY word”.

Lesson will be at the correct level for students and for the achievement test.

RIGOR of the indicator concept / skill is correct!

# 4 - Grade K – Distinguish between fantasy and reality.

# 5 - Grade K – Recognize predictable patterns in stories.

#3 - Grade 1 – Retell the beginning, middle and ending of a story, including its important events.

# 5 - Grade 1 – Recognize predictable patterns in stories and poems.

Identify the “rigor” in the grade level indicator/SKILL for the lesson.

Standards are open and public statements that clearly define what students SHOULD KNOW and be able TO DO in order to achieve at the highest levels in all academic areas.

RIGOR REFERS TO THE TO DO

Diagnose Before You

Teach!

Essential Questions Do my students

NEED this lesson?

Are my students READY for this lesson?

In the real world, diagnosis is an integral part of life….It should be the SAME in the classroom!

When to Diagnose . . .Introduce the material in the lesson or teach a partial lesson using the material BEFORE conducting the diagnosis (pre-test / pre-assessment)

Why? Because often times, students do not really know what they do or do not know!

This allows students to REFRESH, RECALL, and REMEMBER material they may have not used recently or may not realize they actually understand.
